Once again, these criminals who call themselves “defenders” of Islam are trying to impose their will upon others through threats and intimidation.
Strange but true, you’d never see FPI members demonstrating against corrupt leaders, including one former religious affairs minister!
You’d never see them demonstrate against pimps exploiting Muslim women to work as prostitutes throughout Jakarta and Indonesia.
These criminals should go to the Middle Eastern countries to have their eyes opened.
Everywhere, they’d see gay men holding hands walking in the shopping malls and, especially in the evening, along the Corniche in Doha, Bahrain, etc.
The good Muslims must strongly object to have such criminals defending Islam. If anything, they are insulting Islam with their antisocial behavior.
It would be very interesting to find out what organization supports the FPI financially. The holier-than-thou Wahabi movement might very well be behind all their activities.
The Wahabi movement is dead in the water in the land of its origin, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but they like to show their power in poor and stupid countries like Indonesia, Pakistan, etc.
Come on, Indonesian Muslims, get rid of these criminals who drag Islam in the mud whilst pretending that they are “defending” Islam.
